But the left-back, who moved to Anfield from Fulham last week, admits it is a huge step up for him. Konchesky, who has been reunited with former Fulham boss Roy Hodgson at Liverpool, could make his debut this weekend.

He said: ‘I’m 29 and this is my last chance to play at the highest level. That is what Liverpool are and I’m looking forward to getting a new lease of life and playing at a very high standard. I can’t wait to pull on a Liverpool shirt. It is a massive club and a big step for me.’
